Abstract
The results from numerical calculations for steady shear, the start-up and cessation of steady shear, and the stress relaxation after a step shear stain are discussed in detail for a bead-spring chain model with consistently averaged hydrodynamic interaction between the beads and consistently averaged finite extensible springs. Calculations are made for a large range of spring stiffnesses 10 ⩽ b ⩽ ∞ and a hydrodynamic interaction strength h * = 0.15 a value which has been estimated from experimental results. This model is found to satisfy the Hassager-Bird and the Lodge-Meissner relations.
